Homebrew Question about Kernel Exploit.

[XeruZio]

What is it and why people think that it will be related to smea's next Ninjhax update ?

Sorry for the noob question :/

Kernel Exploit is a type of exploit with very high rights (e.g. to install CIAs/ Channels in the home menu etc.). It won't be related to the next NINJHAX update.

what do u mean high rights? the higher level arm9 access permission?

As I said, stuff like CIA installation, stuff that you would need to run GW/CFW/EmuNAND.

I assume any kernel exploit that could run from the new ironfall entrypoint (which isn't to say one will ever exist) could also be used with the known Cubic Ninja entrypoint? Or is there some chance that Ironfall could allow for more? Probably too early to ask this, though.

I don't think smea would allow that , to prevent from piracy.

As I said, the stuff currently going on has nothing to do with a kernel exploit. It's the same like ninjhax 2.0, only launched from an eshop game (and maybe with more service access so that homebrews can use the circlepad pro etc.).

The only wish i have for this update is that it will help some emulators dev to access more hardware (CitrAGB)

It's what people need in order to use the most important parts of a closed console like the 3DS.

Smea's intial tweet about freehax caused people to make assumptions about how would work. Someone said 'OMG ITZ A KERNEL EXPLOIT!' and everyone got there hopes up and ran with it.

I don't think you would need higher access to write a Dynamic Recompiler (Which is all it really needs to hit full speed)

...Do you? :I

To do dynamic recompiling you need access to the dynrec core which requires higher level access.

CitrAGB has that ? if yes i haven't saw it

As far as I know, all of the emulators that the 3DS has so far run on an interpreter rather then a dynarec.

Oh , ok because i have CitrAGB with interpreter always on but is laggy as hell (only tested FireRed)

Interpreter is always on, because that's all there is.

citrAGB uses dynrec, but dynrec is only supported on ninjhax 1 so you'll have to use the interpeter version if you only have ninjhax 2 (eg. you're 9.3 or higher).

I stand corrected. lol I do currently use Ninjhax 2.0. Fire Red is indeed pretty slow, that's the game I tested it with. BlargSNES is pretty much perfect with what I've tested.

CitrAGB is laggy in some games, but it does actually run quite a few games at playable framrates, and some even 100% most of the time.

If you have a n3DS the interpeter version of citrAGB actually gives better preformance then the dynrec one, it's pretty cool...
